Awesome!  

How does this work - one group claim a "tile" or space and then work on it?  I'm thinking there is a way to keep another group from dumping black dots (for example) all over your teams' artwork.

That Maple Leaf at the bottom needs some clean-up!

As far as I'm aware, you just have a reddit account and you can click on tiles and claim them with the color you choose.  It's a community effort to make something which makes it all the more impressive.  You have a 5 minute waiting period to click and color something again.  So it's a constant battle all day to keep the picture together. 

OSU is already trying to paint it red with their pixel efforts but you can recolor over their feeble attempts.

If you are logged into reddit, just click anywhere on the picture of what pixel you want, choose your color, and hit the check to confirm your choice

Go Blue, but I'm more impressed with the Turks just below us. With that kind of motivation, they may recapture that lost empire after all!

It's a rhythm game with a few million users; 15,000 of them got together to do the r/place thing. My kid plays it and told me all about their r/place efforts. In the game, you have to time things to music, yes, a bit like Dance Dance Revolution, but not with your feet. Personally, I don't get it. But I'm old.

It is actually kind of addicting. Anyone with a Reddit account and 30 seconds should get in there and place at least one tile!

I don't buy that this is all just individuals placing tiles.  There is too much order/symmetry in many of these designs and patterns are repaired far too rapidly.  There has to be automated programs/accounts involved... in which case what's the point in playing?

MSU was an exercise in arrogance - they used to have the biggest college sports graphic, now completely wiped out by some hearts and flowers.
